Dear Ukraine, Sorry the orange idiot sold you out, and yeah, it's really humiliating to have a head of state like that. At least you have one with brains and guts. p.s. Middle screenshot is from the 2016 debate, where HRC noted that Putin wanted a puppet. He got one.

Fab weather for looking for #pollinatorpals for this week's challenge.
Bowers Quarry, Portland was a joy - so many insects and flowers.
I watched a Chalkhill Blue work methodically around one Carline Thistle flowerhead for about 15 mins - what a winning combination, just magical.

Inside Democrats’ risky gambit to ‘fight fire with fire’ over election maps In Texas and beyond, the party has adopted a newly combative posture following months of internal conversations. Now, they face an uphill climb.

Democrats are taking a newly combative approach to the rapidly spreading fight over election maps and redistricting.

“Fight fire with fire,” as many Democrats have recently put it.

Six pollinators on Prairie Verbena for #SixonSaturday. This plant has been blooming for me since April and is still going strong. Glandularia bipinnatifida is native to the Great Plains and Southeast. It is a tender perennial that can grow in containers. #nativeplants #gardening 🌱 #butterflies

A Song thrush perched on a branch side on to the photographer. Upperparts are soft brown otones with darker inner webs to some feathers. The greater and median coverts have buff tips. The underparts are mainly white with dark spots fading to a buff ground colour on the flanks

A Song Thrush perched on a branch facing the photographer clearly showing the whitish buff breast and underparts flecked with dark arrow-shaped spots

Difficult to beat a good view of a Song Thrush. This obliging bird popped up onto a branch in Hamadryad Park this morning, almost perfect light too #birdingWales

EXCLUSIVE: Someone Waived Ghislaine Maxwell's Sex Offender Status to Move Her to a Minimum Security Camp in Texas According to sources, you can't move someone with a Public Safety Factor (PSF) designation - which Maxwell had - without waiving it. That's what happened here.

They have downgraded her sex offender status to move her to a minimum security facility. The next logical step is a commutation or a pardon. If you have any information on that, my Signal is in my bio. I'll keep you anonymous as always. Please share widely 🙏 www.muellershewrote.com/p/exclusive-...
